If you follow me then it is probably very easy to see that I love my handbags, especially my luxury handbags. It’s where I choose to spend my money time and time again because there is nothing quite like a quality handbag that will last you years, and can transform your simple look into something more extraordinary.
In this post, I am sharing my thoughts on my Louis Vuitton Cluny BB. You have seen this handbag many times on my blog and on my Instagram. However, after owning it for six months I wanted to share my thought on this handbag.

If you are anything like me then you probably have a fascination with luxury handbags – whether you’ve made the big splurge or not. When people find out the prices of these expensive accessories they may think you’re crazy (maybe I am a little bit), but to me, these are more than just handbags.
Check out this blog post where I tell you my 6 tips to afford luxury handbags. It’s easier than you may think.
To me, these handbags are great investments. Most luxury brands have price increases every year, which means (depending on the brand and the style of the bag) you could actually re-sell your handbag for more than you paid for it.
Typically, classic bags or very rare finds do best on the pre-loved market.
Hermes, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton are the top 3 brands that buyers look for pre-loved so there is a constant demand. If you are into buying bags for investment purposes then these are great things to know.
However, for me, I buy to wear and because I know I will get my money’s worth. It’s all about cost per wear. Since I use these bags for years the cost per wear far outweighs the hefty price tag.
HANDBAG REVIEW: LOUIS VUITTON CLUNY BB
I purchased this handbag as a birthday present to myself this summer (#treatyoself). I documented my food itinerary on a trip to Prague with my mom in a previous post. If you are a fellow foodie then you will love this post!
I came to Prague with 4 bags on my list that I wanted to see (3 from Louis Vuitton and 1 from Gucci). When I saw the Cluny BB in this new epi leather I was hooked! Here are my thoughts on the Louis Vuitton Cluny.
HANDBAG PROS:
Quality
I have used this bag so much over the last six months, and it still looks as new as the day that I bought it. The material is strong and holds up very well to everyday life, there is no cracking on the leather, the stitching is perfect, and it comes with metal feet on the bottom of the bag!
Honestly, do you know how many bags do not come with feet that should? I am very pro feet on any handbag!
Detachable Strap
I have mentioned this before, but I LOVE detachable straps on my handbags. When I am spending this amount of money, I really want to make sure that I can get the most out of it. A detachable strap allows you to wear it multiple ways, and for so many different types of occasions.
For a casual outfit, I keep the strap on, and for a more ladylike look, I would remove the strap so it looks like a top handle bag. I can also wear this handbag as a crossbody. It’s like having multiple bags in one.
Versatility
I was a bit worried at first that this denim-inspired epi leather would be hard to style, but this bag constantly surprises me. It pairs so perfectly with denim, but will also look beautiful with an LBD. The combination of blue and black makes this bag easy to pair with anything in my wardrobe.
Uniqueness
This is a new and updated version of the typical epi leather handbags that you may be used to seeing. Still, to this day, I have not seen another person in everyday life have this exact handbag. I love having a handbag that isn’t as common and is such a show-stopper. I’m constantly getting asked about this bag in person.
HANDBAG CONS:
It was hard to even think of a con because I love this handbag so much, but I thought to add one just to make it fair.
Standing ability
I have heard it mentioned before that this handbag can easily tumble forward. This isn’t something that really bothers me as I don’t often leave my handbags sitting on the table when I go out.
I have not really experienced that this with this bag because I think this version of the epi leather is sturdier than the typical Louis Vuitton epi leather. However, if that is something that really bothers you then maybe make a note, and test it out in the store.
See how I styled this bag a few different ways: denim on denim, all-black look, wild star-printed jacket.
